My name is Ellie-Grace . I am twelve years old. My sister used to have cancer . She died . I was seven then . I didn't know it was going to happen. It was very sudden . One day she was here , one day she was gone .I was confused .

My Dad divorced my Mum two years later. I was scared . I still remember the nights when I sat in front of the banister because I couldn't get to sleep because they argued so much . One morning my mother woke up with a black eye , the next morning a bruised forehead . It kept getting worse and worse every morning and I blamed myself for everything . I don't know why I guess its just me .

I wish I was my sister , Alexandria or Alex as most people call her , so I could die and not blame myself for everything. Maybe I could fix things make things right . But I think its kind of hard when you have made a mess of your life already .
